Leicester-Chelsea, the likely lineups.
Leicester-Chelsea, the likely lineups.
Leicester hosts Chelsea at 4 p.m. for a match valid for the second day of the Premier League. The Blues halted their free-fall with a home win against Leeds, but now they are looking for more points to climb the standings and aim for the Europe zone. The Foxes are coming from three knockouts in a row and are just three points off the relegation zone-they can do no wrong at home.
Potter does not change: 3-4-3 for the Blues with the attacking trio Sterling-Havertz-Joao Felix. In midfield Kovacic with Enzo Fernandez, on the flanks James and Chilwell. The hosts rely on Daka and Iheanacho in attack.
